Side Discharge Chute Assembly + Fitting
Use the side discharge chute on your mower when the grass is
too tall to mulch or when side discharging is preferred.
The grass clippings produced by the side discharge chute are
noticeably larger than those produced by the mulching plug.
NOTE: When using the side discharge chute, do not assemble
the grass collection bag. Insert the mulching plug in the rear
discharge opening.
1. Lift up the side discharge door.
2. Align the grooves on the side discharge chute with the
pins on the underside of the door, and hook the grooves
on the pins (Fig. 9).

Mulching Plug Assembly + Fitting
Your mower is equipped with a mulching plug to allow the
blade to cut and recut the grass for finer clippings.

grass collection bag or the side discharge chute.
NOTE: When the grass collection bag is not attached, the
mulching plug must be inserted in the rear discharge opening.
1. Lift up the ejector flap.
2. Insert the mulching plug fully into the rear discharge
opening and make sure it's seated securely (Fig. 10).
